AN IRON AGE HEDGEROW FLORA FROM ALCESTER, WARWICKSHIRE
Author(s): J R A Greig
A ditch fill contained a flora rich in seeds of cratagus (hawthorn), Prunus spinosa (sloe), Acer campestre (field maple) and Rhannus catharticus (purging buckthorn) as well as plants typical of hedges. The remains can be confidently interpreted as the remains of a hedged and ditched boundary, and the radiocarbon date shows that it is of Iron Age date.
